Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques and apparatus for signaling interference management information, such as network assisted interference cancelation (NAIC) information as downlink control information (DCI). According to certain aspects, a method is provided for wireless communications by an interfering or potentially interfering base station. The method generally includes generating information for use by a user equipment (UE) in performing interference mitigation when processing a signal from a serving base station and transmitting the information to the UE. The method may further include generating an indication of how the interfering or potentially interfering base station transmits the information and how one or more cells transmit information for use by the UE in performing interference mitigation when processing a signal from the serving base station and transmitting the indication to the UE.
